I like to get voritor dasher missions on Dantooine. With my pet grouped the missions are worth about 7kcr each, they drop lots of harvested resources you can sell, have no armor, and are a cinch to kill with a flame DOT (as long as you have a pet tanking). They're worth about 3k per kill, and sometimes the nests spawn voritor lizards that are worth about 1.75k per kill and go down even easier. They are aggro, but I have no problems getting them to focus on my pet before going in with the FT. Also, and best of all, they occasionally drop armor segments which can be sold on the bazaar for 1k-1.5k. Yesterday I made about 450k heavy weapons xp and about 180kcr in cash and loot, all in about 6 hours (not the best rate possible, but I was doing other stuff simultaneously). Voritor dashers seem like the best return on xp that I've found, with the added bonus that you get some decent money/loot. I've done the bols and pickets, but since I have pets and don't worry about tanking (for now anyway), the dashers seem to be the easiest kills that still return about 3k xp. Once you start working on seething bol crushers, I pretty sure they con higher than dashers so you're spending more effort to kill them (if you have pets) than the dashers but they both yield around 3k xp. Plus, the some of the bol and picket variants seem to run away alot, making hitting them with your short range flame specials a pain.
Once you have a flame DOT, especially the AOE flame DOT, and if you're feeling bold, get the couple of voritors outside the nest trained onto your pet, then hit the nest once with your FT and peace it before anything pops and get your pet on the spawns right away (even though the others should still be on it). Then, light them all up with the AOE DOT and run back a ways and let them all cook to death while they bounce off your pet (provided it has good kinetic resits). This works amazingly well with graul maulers once you get the hang of it. Use this technique at your own risk though
Well, that's my own experience. Your mileage may vary.

Before flame cone, I did Seething Bol Crushers..
Once I got flame cone, I moved to Quenkers.. They usually spawn 5 or 6 each, and die pretty quick to flame cone. they are 2-3k each. Some of them have a poison cone attack though, I get poisoned quite a bit.. You definatly need a tank though. If you don't have one, buy yourself a cheap flamethrower and use OC2 to one hit kill stuff for around 1k each. it goes pretty quick

Anything with two feet and a hearbeat for fastest xp. Try to kill everything you see no matter where you are.......the emphasis is on try here.

Well the best exp I have found are the Defiler and nocus kameraiths. Around 20k, get 3k each kill and only 6 mobs total.
Best exp is because you cycle through the missions quickly.
